Brother Chen turned around and saw An Caicai's nervous and pitiful little face.
His heart ached, but he couldn't help but feel a little amused.
"Cai Cai, you little fool, what are you worried about? Go back to the house quickly, I can handle it."
An Caicai curled her lips, "In the long run...you have to be careful."
She said this, but still walked back obediently.
Chen Changyuan smiled at her and walked out of the yard at the speed of wind.
Walking along the path towards the farm, Chen Changyuan's mind was in turmoil.
That Zhou Dazhu is such a troublesome guy!
Wasn’t it enough that you got beaten last time? Now you dare to cause trouble?
Oh, just clean them up together.
After a while, we arrived at the farm.
Oh, sure enough, I saw Zhou Dazhui leading a group of lackeys blocking the door, clamoring for compensation, acting like he was the boss and he was second only to the boss.
"Hey, Zhou Dazhu! Are you planning a fight? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself?"
Chen Changyuan walked over slowly, his words stinging.
Zhou Dazhu perked up as soon as he saw Chen Changyuan: "Oh, Brother Chen, you're here just in time! Let's settle the score today! Your lousy chicken farm killed all my chickens. Don't even think about letting this go unless you pay me!"
Chen Changyuan curled his lips and smiled: "Are you lying with your eyes open? Who said it was my fault? If you have the guts, show me the evidence!"
Zhou Dazhu's voice rose an octave: "Do you think I'm really unprepared? Humph, I've been on guard against you for a long time!"
Chen Changyuan took out a few photos from his pocket without any hurry.
Hey, look, isn’t this the scene of Zhou Dazhu’s men adding ingredients to chicken feed?
"Do you know him? Master Zhou, isn't this your man behind this?"
Zhou Dazhu never expected that Chen Changyuan had been prepared. His face immediately flushed and his neck became thick. "Nonsense! This photo is photoshopped! What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"
"Oh? How about we get someone to identify these minions and see if they are your men?"
Chen Changyuan stared at Zhou Dazhu with a fierce look.
At this time, people from the village committee also arrived.
Wang Fugui's face darkened. "What are you yelling about? Zhou Dazhu, what are you doing in the village?"
Chen Changyuan handed the photo to Wang Fugui and snorted coldly, "It's obvious who's messing around. Village chief, take a look. Do these faces look familiar?"
Wang Fugui glanced at the photo, then glanced at the hooligans around Zhou Dazhu who couldn't raise their heads, frowning: "Tsk, what nonsense!"
"Village chief, please judge the matter. This kid..."
Zhou Dazhu was anxious, and before he could finish his words, Wang Fugui interrupted him: "Shut up! Zhou Dazhu, you've caused so much trouble in the village recently, and I haven't settled the score with you yet! The village committee is testifying today, so you have to pay compensation, but you have to pay it to others!"
Chen Changyuan felt happy in his heart, and the suppressed anger finally dissipated.
The villagers gathered around and pointed and looked at him. Zhou Dazhu was furious and his face turned red like an apple.
"I want justice from the village chief today, okay?"
Chen Changyuan calmed down and stopped Zhou Dazhui from interrupting.
Wang Fugui nodded and winked at the other members of the village committee. Everyone rushed to drag Zhou Dazhui and the others back to the village committee for processing.
More and more villagers gathered around and completely sided with Chen Changyuan.
After the matter was resolved, the villagers slowly dispersed. Chen Changyuan adjusted his mood and turned to find An Caicai.
He couldn't help but feel a little happy, now that he felt the village's support for him, it gave him more motivation to stay here.
Returning to the medicinal materials base, Chen Changyuan gently pushed open the door and saw An Caicai sitting in front of the window, staring out, seemingly in a trance.
Seeing him come in, An Caicai stood up immediately, with a hint of worry and curiosity in her eyes.
"Is everything settled?"
An Caicai asked.
"Well, it's like a little farce."
Chen Changyuan shook his head and sat down beside her, his eyes turning to her face. "Thank you so much for giving me a lot of advice today."
An Caicai saw his serious expression and smiled slightly, "There's not much I can do, so I'll just consider it as helping you out."
"No, your suggestions are great. Thank you so much for this."
As soon as Chen Changyuan finished speaking, he held her hand.
Chen Changyuan held An Caicai's hand, felt the warmth of her palm, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He was extremely grateful because An Caicai extended a helping hand to help him through the most difficult times.
An Caicai blushed slightly, but she didn't intend to pull her hand back. Instead, she moved closer.
She raised her eyes, a glint of wisdom in them. "You have to deal with these matters yourself. I'm just offering some advice."
"You're always so humble."
Chen Changyuan smiled. The gentle and lovely girl in front of him made him feel a strange emotion in his heart.
He didn't expect that after returning to this land, he would meet such a trustworthy person.
"Hey, do you have time now?"
Chen Changyuan came back to his senses and asked, "I want to show you the base and the achievements we've made in recent times."
An Caicai's eyes lit up, "Of course, I've wanted to see it for a long time."
Chen Changyuan stood up, patted his trouser legs, and led An Caicai out of the house.
Walking on the muddy path, sunlight filtering through the leaves, Chen Changyuan pointed to the fields not far away. "This newly cultivated land is the result of our efforts over the past few months."
"Wow, that's quite a big one."
An Caicai stood on tiptoe to take a closer look and exclaimed in admiration.
The two chatted along the way, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the initial seriousness was gone.
Walking into the processing workshop, Chen Changyuan patiently explained the operations and future plans.
"Cai Cai, what do you think?"
An Caicai looked around and felt as if she were back in the classroom. "If we can find a stable market in the city, this medicinal herb will definitely have a future."
"That makes sense."
Chen Changyuan was full of admiration and was amazed at An Caicai's erudition.
"I've been looking for someone knowledgeable to give me some advice, and now I've found you."
Under her kind gaze, Chen Changyuan felt as if a long drought had finally brought him some relief.
The two men walked on the soft ground, their footsteps sometimes light and sometimes heavy in the fields.
Chen Changyuan introduced the development of the base as he walked, his voice full of unconcealable expectations and determination.
"So what are your plans for the future?"
An Caicai asked, shaking her small bag naturally with a leisurely posture.
"We'll continue to expand the medicinal material base and breeding farms, with the goal of gradually improving the lives of the villagers. When the time is right, I want to open my own sales channels in the city, so that we can gain a firm foothold."
There was an indomitable fighting spirit in Chen Changyuan's eyes.
"That sounds grand. It would be difficult to do it alone. Have you thought about forming a team in advance? Strengthen your lineup."
An Caicai suggested.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Chen Changyuan nodded with an affirmative look. Their discussion made him realize the importance of teamwork. "We need more creative people to join us."
Before I knew it, it was getting dark and a gentle breeze was blowing through the mountains.
The two walked through the sun-drenched path, the aroma of herbs filling the air.
